Finally tried Ume Tea, mostly to get the surprise plushie cup! Now you can choose any drink that you want and add the surprise plushie cup as an "add-on" to your drink. (Before, you were restricted on the teas that you could choose in order to get the plushie cup.) I got the white peach oolong milk tea, which was decent! You get a hint of the white peach although the oolong tea taste is stronger. If they added more white peach to it, it would be pretty good. The surprise cup itself was fun to open up and see which plushie you get. You do get a good amount of milk tea, even though the cup's base is used to hold the plushie inside. This is the Great Mall location, so it's inside the mall with no seating and is fairly busy. Service was quick though, and staff were friendly when answering my questions. You can order from their kiosk or order online for pickup. read more

Strawberry Tea Slushie w/ Salted Cheese Foam - I decided to try something safe, their strawberry is ALSO as good Anyways, I defintely recommend y'all stop by when you're in the area read more

Drinks are so yummy and great customer service! The Ume Boba is delicious and not overly sweet.

Haven't had a bad drink! Love the milk tea with the mochi and taro. Tastes fresh. The Popcorn chicken is always good. Very fast service as well, short wait times. read more

Ume Tea had a grand opening promo on 14 Oct, where drinks were $3, mega teas were $5, and the line was so long! I love the Surprise Milk Tea which has a surprise soft toy keychain in the cup. I got a cute toy duck! The Mega Milk Tea or Mega Fruit combo tea is a large and satisfying bucket of tea that's perfect for sharing. If you're looking for a new boba shop to try, or something to sip on while shopping, check out Ume Tea in Milpitas Great Mall. read more

I love ume , the tea always tastes right. This location is inside great mall, entrance 5, across from forever21, hope that helps lol. Kids wanted chicken popcorn, delish, and plush surprise option when adding it to your drink orders. It's a bit if a wait, so try to order ahead. Just a window but lots of seats in the middle area, it's a mall y'all. read more

This place is just ok. When my friend and I got there, I noticed that one employee was cleaning machines and such while another was behind the counter, sitting on the floor and on their phone. Didn't get to interact with staff much since I ordered from the tablet. We were able to take our time deciding what we wanted though, and we got lucky to have no line when we got there since a bunch of people showed up after us. Took about ten minutes for me to get my drink. I was indecisive but ended up ordering the strawberry matcha latte since it was under their "must try" category. I was only able to taste the strawberry puree with my first sip, and then I couldn't taste it anymore as I kept drinking. The matcha tasted very artificial. There's a block of matcha at the top that melts into the drink that they call a "snowcap" I think, but that also tasted artificial. The drink was too milky for my liking, which masked the taste of the matcha. Felt like I was drinking a cup of milk. You can't do any customizations with this drink either. Probably would not come back. read more

This is the best Ume place I go, Elaine is the best, so accomodating to cuatomers, keep it up!

amazing service! stopped by on the Valentine's Day weekend and expected there to be a huge line but luckily, at 2 pm there was no line and my drink came out very fast. very polite cashiers, everything was clean, and looked cozy. the drink was tasty: the mango was very fresh and I really enjoyed it. I'll be stopping by next time I'm in Milpitas read more

I saw this place and thought, "hmmm, that's looks yummy." I was first in line and ordered the pop corn chicken, salt and pepper. He asked did I want it spicy, so I agreed to that too. The line formed after that mostly for tea, which I guess is the specialty. I wish I'd grabbed the tea and went to an actual chicken spot for chicken--lesson learned. After 11 minutes of waiting, watching the others get their orders and me actually seeing my food come from behind closed doors and placed on a counter, where it sat, getting cool.... I tried to get the attention of the workers, but to no avail. Finally, and when I say finally I really mean finally, the guy gave my chicken. It looked odd, but I'm so hungry.... Note to self: if it looks weird, it's gonna taste weird, and it does. The chicken is rubbery and chewy and very strange. It's just really odd tasting. I DO NOT have the time to spare to get a refund for 99.9% that was not and will not be eaten. I will never ever return there though. Lunch hour ruined. Money wasted. Still hungry. #yuck read more

This place is so disorganized. There was one order pad to place your order and one person making the drinks. We ordered 2 teas that took about 30 minutes. I don't understand why the person didn't make the tea based on the order that was placed. Instead she was hopping from one ticket to another. My tea was ready but we waited another 20 minutes for my friend's tea to be done. I ordered the Ume milk tea and I thought it was ok. Definitely not worth the wait or hype. read more

This location is located inside the Great Mall. There was a line to order from the tablets. The line did move fairly quickly. I got the Sunset Rose (Rose Milk Tea) with the bunny surprise, which is an additional $3.50. The drink overall was pretty good, it wasn't too sweet, just to my liking. Also, they are currently doing a promo on the brown sugar boba premium oolong milk tea for $3.99. read more

While I did come on a holiday, I definitely was disappointed in how underprepared and inefficient the staff was today. I Waited 20 minutes for one drink that I mobile ordered, and peeked in the back as staff filled cups to brim and they wouldn't seal (resulting in them having to reseal and check again). From this observation alone, I think the staff may need more training to be efficient and educated on the small things that can add up. I don't intend to be super harsh, I just believe supplemental training would go a long way. read more

I went to Ume Tea at the Great Mall with my mom and sister since it's been a long time that we were together. A colorful milk tea place next door to Dave & Busters and across from the nail spa. There are a couple kiosks which you can place your order instead of a clerk. If you like to earn points, you can sign up on the kiosk. There is a good selection of milk tea, fruit tea, desserts and appetizers to choose from. I was going to go with the signature milk tea adding in mochi but I found it to be costly so I reverted back to the Brown Sugar Boba with mochi. The drink was good but pales in comparison to the Ume Team on Barber Lane, Milpitas. There a good amount of seats around the place that you can choose from so there's no shortage of seats. I rate this place 4 stars because the taste of my drink wasn't as good as the one on Barber Lane. read more

My go to boba spot whenever I'm at the great mall. I usually get my go to drinks either matcha or peach (: Great service & quality drinks!

I had their Dubai chocolate shake a few weeks ago. It was so good, I still think about it every now and then. It wasn't too chocolatey, which is what I don't like about other places when they make this drink, but this place was more pistachio so that was so good. read more

Just a little update since I first ordered from Ume tea at the Great Mall. I now obsessively come here at least every other day (oops!) that I think the servers know me already haha! Every time, I still get the same order (oolong tea) and it's still my favourite. I also recommend the popcorn chicken with at least some mild seasoning. They have a mixed box too which has chicken, chips, fishball which I really enjoy. They have a loyalty scheme where you can collect points and redeem them for food or Ume cute rabbit merchandise. During peak hours and busy days, I would recommend ordering it online for pick-up. It is definitely much quicker and will cut through the queue. I love everyone at Great Mall's Ume Tea - they are friendly. There is however one person there who always look like she's having a bad day ...I hope her days are better at Ume tea! read more

We came here on a random Monday, and a few of the drinks I wanted to try were out, so I ended up with a drink she just suggested. The boba was a two minutes wait. The drinks were decent, not the best, but definitely not the worse. The cups are really pretty. While paying she did stare at the screen when I was at the tipping screen read more

I like the drinks and snacks at Ume, so I stop by from time to time. Orders are placed through the kiosk, and while waiting, you can see the staff at work. Elaine always makes sure that both the drinks and snacks are prepared neatly and with care. Her friendliness and attention to quality make this a pleasant place to visit. read more

I tried their mango mango drink this time which has mango jam blended with fragrant milk and topped with sago. It was really good and tasted like chè (a Vietnamese dessert). Highly recommend this drink if you love mangos :) read more

I placed an order through the kiosk and waited about 15 minutes before asking for an update. I was told it would be another 5 minutes, but it still took longer than expected. I asked the manager for a refund, explaining that I no longer wanted the food because of the delay. The manager initially refused and said she would go check on the order. One of the associates mentioned that the manager can be stubborn about refunds, but the associate was very helpful and processed the refund for me. I appreciate the associate's professionalism, but the overall experience was disappointing. read more

Amazing! 10/10 love this place I went once with a friend and got a little stuffed animal in the bottom of my cup and it was so cute definitely worth the price and big serving sizes read more

Decor: 5/5 So cute, aesthetic, and inviting! Many cute cups and knickknacks are available to purchase Service: 5/5 The staff who took my order was so positive, welcoming, kind, and attentive. I came in the morning on a weekday so it was not busy at all. They threw in a freebie (Original Blossom Pastry) because I was the first customer of the day! :) Drinks: 3/5 I got the Mango Pomelo Sago and the Grape Green Tea with Jelly, both 50 sweet. The drinks were okay and still a bit too sweet even with the sugar cut. I only tried the Mango Pomelo Sago and it was a miss for me, it mostly just tasted like artificial mango purée which I'm not a fan of. The Blossom Pastry was flaky, not too sweet, and floral - pretty good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it just because I don't like floral tastes. Mango sago is a difficult drink to perfect, so I would come back to try a different drink and get 25 or 0 sugar! Most of their drinks have fruit in them so it's worth a try if you're a fruit lover! read more

Ume Tea - $3.99 promotion for their signature or jasmine tea!! What a deal!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

The last time I wanted to ty this place was during their grand opening when they had deals but the line was so long and wrapped around to the outside. We were hanging out here over the weekend and I passed this place with a minimal line. Not feeling like having caffeine, I opted for the mango pomelo sago -non tea version. They have a tea version too - my friend got that. We ordered on the kiosk and was able to customize sugar levels. It does default to the large size so I switched to the regular/smaller size. It was good, Lots of sago. My 30% sugar level was plenty sweet for me. It was a good mix of mango and pomelo. I wouldn't def get this drink again. Also I think you can upgrade to the surprise cup, which comes with a mini plushy. They have a few extra things you can order including like bunny ears for the top of your cup. Mayne next time I will order a tea drink. They have a lady taking orders as well also. Our names got called but I think they will text you also if you order on the kiosk. read more

Very nice boba teas, very refreshing, kids friendly and cute ambiance! I would visit again for mango boba . Quick service as well .

Popcorn chicken?? Yes please! Surprise plushies?? Sooo cute!!! My favorite is the brown sugar fresh milk. It's creamy, delicious, and I always get it when I'm at the mall. Sometimes I feel bad when it's busy and there's only one person working, so sometimes there's a little wait. But usually, it's pretty quick. read more

Awful. I ordered the octopus snack, expecting it to be legit octopus and it came out looking and tasting like crispy flour. The fried mushroom turned out okay but hella burnt, it tasted like extra crispy potato chips. If you're looking for a place that actually gives you what you're expecting try an actual ume location. Service was average. read more
